Kind of reminds me of how a lot of people thought the "Starship Troopers" movie was really in support of fascism rather than a satire. You can check out a video analysis of it here: http://youtu.be/jQcUa38KNFo

You think the breasts in Dead or Alive look ridiculous you should check out the ones in Sexy Beach Zero.　　That game has breasts that have implanted anti-gravitational devices.

I touched on a similar topic awhile back on my blog. You can read it here (if your interested): http://caseygoddard.blogspot.jp/2011/11/under-hood.html Basically, I think graphic showcase games are to video games as a whole, in the same way muscle cars are to automobiles in general...

It was the best of times. It was the worst of times...

I think the video game industry is suffering from a sever case of conservatism when it comes to non-indie titles. Rather than trying to integrate new concepts they just stick with existing ones. So where do you go when you make a sequel? More of the same just cranked up to 11. Go check out...

I find myself agreeing with pretty much everything Jim is saying, but I still have a hard time buying into the idea that rape is objectively worse than murder. I actually wrote an post on my blog a while back about Rapelay. The main point I wanted to make was the game kind of got scapegoated...

Best ZP review I've seen in months!

I work for a Japanese company and I can confidently say this kind of thing is not at all uncommon. Of course that doesn't mean it's okay. Actually, I would go so far to say this is an opportunity for gamers to let Japanese business culture know that they need treat their female workforce with...

For those of you who are mathematically challenged (such as editors for The Escapist) the difference between 1.7 million and 1.3 million is 400,000 (not half a million).

I think a lot of people who don't like Leisure Suit Larry feel that way because the only exposure they've had from the series is the latest two games in the series; Box Office Bust and Magna Cum Laude. You have to go back at least 16 years before you'll find a game that Al Lowe worked on.

Just my take on what's needed to make video games scary for today's audience: http://caseygoddard.blogspot.jp/2011/12/surviving-horror.html

You do know that the FTC unofficially acknowledge BioWare falsely advertised ME3, right?
